The present application is also a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/695,672, filed on Dec. 27, 2007, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,396,086. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/695,672 is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/686,831, filed on Mar. 15, 2007, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,568,770. All of these applications are herein incorporated by reference for all that they contain.
Formation degradation, such as asphalt milling, mining, or excavating, may result in wear on attack tools. Consequently, many efforts have been made to extend the life of these tools.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,830,321 to McKenry et al., which is herein incorporated by reference for all that it contains, discloses an excavating tool and a bit for use therewith in which the bit is of small dimensions and is mounted in a block in which the bit is rotatable and which block is configured in such a manner that it can be welded to various types of holders so that a plurality of blocks and bits mounted on a holder make an excavating tool of selected style and size.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,102,486 to Briese, which is herein incorporated by reference for all that it contains, discloses a frustum cutting insert having a cutting end and a shank end and the cutting end having a cutting edge and inner walls defining a conical tapered surface. First walls in the insert define a cavity at the inner end of the inner walls and second walls define a plurality of apertures extending from the cavity to regions external the cutting insert to define a powder flow passage from regions adjacent the cutting edge, past the inner walls, through the cavity and through the apertures.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,944,559 to Sionnet et al., which is herein incorporated by reference for all that it contains, discloses a body of a tool consisting of a single-piece steel component. The housing for the composite abrasive component is provided in this steel component. The working surface of the body has, at least in its component-holder part, and angle at the lower vertex of at least 20% with respect to the angle at the vertex of the corresponding part of a metallic carbide tool for working the same rock. The surface of the component holder is at least partially covered by an erosion layer of hard material.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,873,423 to Briese, which is herein incorporated by reference for all that it contains, discloses a frustum cutting bit arrangement, including a shank portion for mounting in, and to be retained by, a rotary cutting tool body, the shank portion having an axis, an inner axial end, and an outer axial end. A head portion has an axis coincident with the shank portion axis, a front axial end, and a rear axial end, the rear end coupled to the shank portion outer end, and the front end having a conical cavity therein diminishing in diameter from the front end toward the rear end. A frustum cutting insert has an axis coincident with the head portion axis, a forward axial end, a back axial end, and an outer conical surface diminishing in diameter from the forward end toward the back end, the conical cavity in a taper lock. In variations of the basic invention, the head portion may be rotatable with respect to the shank portion, the frustum cutting insert may comprise a rotating cutter therein, and combinations of such features may be provided for different applications.
In one aspect of the invention, an impact tool includes an impact tip formed from a super hard material and bonded to a cemented metal carbide substrate at a non-planar interface. The cemented metal carbide substrate is bonded to a front end of a cemented metal carbide bolster. The carbide bolster is secured against an outer surface of a driving mechanism, such as a drum, through a press fit.
The super hard impact tip may comprise a substantially conical surface with a side which forms a 35 to 55 degree angle with a central axis of the impact tool.
The substrate at the interface may comprise a tapered surface starting from a cylindrical rim of the substrate and ending at an elevated flatted central region formed in the substrate. The flatted region may comprise a diameter of 0.125 to 0.250 inches.
The bolster may comprise a stem with a diameter of 0.250 to 1.00 inches. The bolster may also comprise a stem that is adapted to be press-fit into the drum. The stem may comprise a length of 35 to 100 percent of the length of the bolster. Alternatively, the bolster may comprise at least one bore opposite the front end. The bore may be tapered. In addition, the bolster may comprise a base end with a base surface that is complementary with the outer surface of the drum or driving mechanism. One or more bolsters may be interlocked together. The bolsters may be interlocked through one or more flats formed into the side surfaces of each bolster.
The driving mechanism or drum may comprise a lug adapted to attach to the bolster. The lug may be threadedly attached to the drum and the carbide bolster. The lug may be press-fit into the carbide bolster. The lug may also comprise rod connected to a hydraulic pump, and which pumps is adapted to move the rod/lug and lock the carbide bolster against the drum.
The impact tool may be attached a driving mechanism forming part of a milling machine, a mining machine, a trenching machine, a pavement recycling machine or a crushing machine. The driving mechanism may also be a drill bit.
In another aspect of the invention, a high-impact resistant tool comprises an impact tip formed from a super hard material and bonded to a cemented metal carbide substrate at a non-planar interface. The cemented metal carbide substrate is bonded to a front end of a cemented metal carbide bolster. The cemented metal carbide bolster includes a locking mechanism adapted to attach the tool to a drum or driving mechanism.
In accordance with one exemplary embodiment,
The attachment end 213A of the impact tip 202A may be bonded or brazed to a cemented metal carbide substrate 701A at a non-planar interface 130A. The substrate 701A at the non-planar interface 130A may comprise a tapered surface 702A starting from a cylindrical rim 703A of the substrate 701A towards a central axis 165A of the impact tool 101A, and ending at an elevated flatted central region formed in the substrate 701A.
The cemented metal carbide substrate 701A may be bonded to a front end 705A of a cemented metal carbide bolster 203A. The bolster 203A may also comprise at least one cavity 302A formed in its base end 151A. The inside surface 160A of the cavity 302A may comprise a section with a uniform diameter 150A, and a closed end 166A. The cavity 302A may be capable of receiving a shank in a press-fit arrangement.
As shown in
As shown in
In a preferred embodiment, the impact tools 101F are closely packed together such that the outer surface 204F of the drum 103F is completely covered, or at least the amount of exposed surface is greatly minimized as compared to traditional milling machines. In such embodiments, the outer surface 204F of the drum 103F is protected from the erosive action of cutting into any formation.
One such advantage to the embodiments shown in
The carbide bolster 203R may also include a tapered end 1650R opposite the impact tip 202R. It is believed that such geometry reduces stress risers in the formation which can result in fragmenting the formation. The roller or drum 103R comprises a central axle 1601 about which it rotates. The central axle may comprise an internal accumulator 1602. The accumulator 1602 may comprise a spring, a filter, and a throw-away filter disc, along with an accumulator vent. The accumulator 1602 may act as a lubrication system that includes a lubricating oil. The oil lubricates the central axle 1601 of the drum 103R as it rotates.
The impact tool 101Y may also be used in a drill bit 2600, as disclosed in
Whereas the present invention has been described in particular relation to the drawings attached hereto, it should be understood that other and further modifications apart from those shown or suggested herein, may be made within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
